Blogging from A to Z Challenge: K is for… (#AtoZChallenge)
Welcome to my April 2024 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!
I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with picture), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly. So, here goes nothing!
So, without further ado, K is for ... Kyrielle “A kyrielle is a poem type that is made of quatrains. Quatrains are four stanza poems. A kyrielle is actually a French form of poetry. The kyrielle is also a rhyming poem so the quatrains must, in fact, rhyme in some way. Each line of a kyrielle poem must consist of eight syllables. The rhymes in a kyrielle occur in couplets, meaning every two lines rhyme with one another. A kyrielle poem can be as short or as long as the writer wishes, so long as it contains the original rhyming quatrain, it is a kyrielle. “
Well, this is not a traditional kyrielle because it does not have the traditional “Lord have mercy” refrain. Didn’t seem to fit here…And I did only do one quatrain…
Delicate blossom adorns plate
empty of food that did me sate
Reflecting in pottery bowl
Gone the image of sushi roll

Thanks for visiting my 2024 A to Z Challenge – Letter K.
Guess I’m kind of going rogue too…although I do like using the “official” letters…

Good one and you made it look easy after reading those instructions! I like the cadence it has when reading it. 🙂
Thanks! The poems aren’t all that great, but the exercise of creating them has been fun so far!
Amazed and impressed. I had no idea about all the different types of poetry. Sushi sounds good about now…
And it was delicious sushi we had the other night…
Kyrielle is such a nice sounding word.
It is, isn’t it?
